"Most importantly, because [avocado and kale] taste amazing!," Compartés owner and chocolate mastermind Jonathan Grahm explained. "And everybody knows everything tastes better with chocolate!" Grham acknowledged that the chocolate-loving masses may question the choice of produce more often seen at Sweetgreen than a sweet shop in his luxe chocolate bars, but he insists the healthy-sounding additions are indeed delicious. "Trust us, we only make delicious chocolates and these are up there with some of our favorites," the self-proclaimed avocado-obsessed chocolate maker said. "We love creating unique recipes and introducing foods and flavors in new and exciting ways and this avocado bar is hands down an incredible chocolate bar like no other in the world!"

Though Grahm hadn't previously seen kale or avocado in chocolate bars before his brand created them, he said the inclusion of these unique ingredients is part of a long tradition of "fusing exotic and unusual ingredients in our chocolates." Previous Compartés creations include Mango Saffron, Meyer Lemon Lavender, Raspberry Pink Pepper..

"We are always experimenting in our kitchens, trying to better ourselves and come up with new and exciting combinations," Grahm said.

To create the avocado bar, theCompartés team tried countless recipes (and avocados) to find the "best and most delicious combination possible of avocado and chocolate in a bar form," Grahm explained. Dipping avocado slices in dark, milk and white chocolate helped tasters experiment with flavors, and led the chocolate makers to realize that cocoa muted avocado's subtle flavors and white chocolate was the way to go to accentuate the fruit's richness. "Although the process itself is so much fun, we never make anything just for fun, we always put flavor and ingredients first," Grahm said.

So can we expect to see asparagus, romaine or radicchio in future Compartés creations? The future bars are top secret, but Grahm confirms vegetables will "absolutely" be included in future chocolate bars.
